Indian artificial intelligence startup Sarvam has been selected to develop a comprehensive AI framework for the Army, Navy, and Air Force under Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQ IDS). The initiative will see Sarvam build specialized AI applications for operational management, military training, and strategic decision-support requirements. The solutions will be deployed on sovereign Indian infrastructure to ensure data security and defense autonomy. The project marks a significant move by the Indian military to integrate indigenous foundation models and sovereign AI technologies into national defense operations across all three service branches.
